Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage.

It takes courage to push yourself to places that you have never been before... to test your limits... to break through barriers. And the day came when the risk it took to remain tight inside the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.

Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage. -Anais Nin.

There is not one big cosmic meaning for all, there is only the meaning we each give to our life, an individual meaning, an individual plot, like an individual novel, a book for each person.

The personal life deeply lived always expands into truths beyond itself.

The risk it takes to remain tight inside the bud is more painful than the risk it takes to blossom.
